Before I went to bed last night I sorted out a few fabric/colour combinations for Christmas Drawstring Bags for the grandkids:

ABOVE: I have 8 combo's already sorted out.I can't wait to make a start on them.But that won't be this morning. I have to visit Lacy so the two of us can work on some legal stuff, before she has to go to court again to get a few more kinks ironed out in relation to her ex.After that I will come home and hopefully make a start on those bags.We played Monopoly yesterday, it was quite fun... but confusing too as the game Steve bought has totally different names for the streets etc.

ABOVE: I think Steve was rather confident he would win... see the look on Bex's face? It was like, oh shit....

ABOVE: she needn't have worried. Steve was the first to go bankrupt... and then me.... and Brylee. So the tart won. Her face said it all.

Griffin WAS playing, but he got bored... which is a shame as the game involved reading and counting. Maybe he needs some sort of incentive to play ... like when you pass 'GO' you get the $200 AND ??? Food would be a good one for him! Maybe a lollie jar in the middle, lol.

And then again, do I want to start using food as a 'reward' and set him up for problems with food further down the line? Hmmm... maybe not. I might have to put me thinking cap on and give it some thought.

Dum dee doooo....

ONWARD...

Here is another cute wee video of our Dante:

Off to sort out legal shit now...

Well legal stuff sorted out... have to go in on Thursday to sign Affidavits again. It just goes on and on... and I'm stuck in the middle.

Sewing.... lunch... sewing... been busy! The promised rain for today has not eventuated, so now we are living in a sauna. Hot and humid. Just the sort of weather to make me melt.

If only it melted just me fat! lol

I am really enjoying sewing today... while listening to Taylor Swift! Yes I know... lightweight music, but it's what I feel like.

Today has gone so darn fast... seriously when my alarm went at 1 pm to remind me to take my Metformin pill... I was SHOCKED! And ummm... it's now 3.22 pm and I still haven't taken it. Whoops.

I took me pill... I am getting really good at actually taking them now. I am hoping that my next blood test (in 8 weeks?) is going to show an amazing improvement.

Today's sewing efforts so far:

ABOVE: I really LOVE the brown/pink one! The other one is cute too... but more for a child. The other one might just go to an adult.

End of Day: a lovely peaceful day today. Feel annoyed with myself though. While I have NOT been snacking at all on anything, I think my portions could be better. I'm still giving myself too much. Dammit. It's a constant battle to keep myself under control! Learning. Baby steps again... but I will win!

I have to. I hate myself the way I am. And only I can do anything about it.

Karen I am sorry I am a bit offended by your comment, or mayb its just how you put it, my mum dosent sort everything for me, I do and am doing things for myself and Keera, im very sorry, mayb its this wether getting me all grumpy, but I want people to no I do apreciate my mums help but I am also doing things to better myself for myself and Keera, thank you Lacy & Keera.

So much TALENT! (who can't use a sewing machine? Yeah.. me). I get inspired when I watch Project Runway, but then I get.. busy doing other stuff. XX Hope it's not still so wet up there and that the shakes didn't scare ya!

ME AND STEW

Both struggling to lose weight and be healthier. Parents of 6 adult 'kids' and 13 Grandkids. We have raised two of those grandkids since their births and they are now 15 and 16. We recently took on the care of their little sister who is 4 as well.

WHERE I LIVE:

New Zealand, it's in the South Pacific... and it's NOT a part of Australia! We are home of the All Blacks rugby team, the Kiwi (bird, but can't fly) and lots of bloody neat people!
